Both feature a character walkg on gay sex behd closed doors, and both occur two episos before the fale. “There’s a pleasure to me as a guy who is gay-ish to make gay sex transgrsive aga, ” Whe said.
Bartlett, whose break Ameri me via a Sex and the Cy episo, playg a handsome gay shoe importer who dazzl Carrie the episo “All That Glters, ” has had other major rol HBO drama Lookg and the most recent screen eratn of Tal of the Cy. ”Armond’s sexualy is not the reason for his ath, so if he is no more, is not a homophobic murr.
I hear what you’re sayg about gay characters historilly gettg a raw al, but for me Armond beg gay has nothg to do wh him dyg. It didn’t feel like was any kid of rogatory diss on queer people or a gay man. ”“I do thk there are still lgerg stigmas, and some ceilgs to break through”In his standout rol—as Armond The Whe Lot, as Dom Lookg, and as Michael Tolliver the most recent screen eratn of Armistead Mp’s Tal of the Cy for Netflix—Bartlett is unique; an out gay actor playg an assortment of varied, eply wrten gay men progrsg through middle age on mastream TV.
‘WHE LOT’ STAR ON THAT POOP, GAY ROL, AND BEG OUT HOLLYWOOD
As an actor you want to play a range of rol, and I’ve had the opportuny to play gay and straight rol, but I often get to play gay rol which I absolutely love bee we are a time where we are still tryg to have more reprentatn unr-reprented muni, cludg the queer muny.
”Bartlett don’t know if he was offered the rol on the strength of his prev gay rol—which n be sometim how producers and stg directors n see you. “I don’t know if people thk, ‘He n only play gay rol, ’ or is that the only way they have seen me and so thk, ‘He’s right for this’?
“WHE LOT” STAR’S GAY TURN DISVERED AS ADAM DIMAR BE NEW WHE BOY OF THE MONTH
“I was super-fortunate as a young person who had an credible mother who loved me no matter what, and didn’t have any issue wh me beg gay.
Fortunately, that worked out really well for me bee the opportuni I got have been wonrful, but may have guid my trajectory that I have played more gay rol than I would have if I hadn’t been open. ”He fell love wh the cy, extend his tourist visa—and then, a bolt of good fortune, booked his first job on Sex and the Cy playg Oliver, the handsome gay Asie who first gets Carrie served a crowd, flhy gay bar, and then briefly displac Stanford (Willie Garson) as her gay bt iend. Edor's note: this post ntas spoilers for episo five of The Whe Lot season 's givg a weeks-long tease, we fally got a gay sex scene on season two of The Whe Lot.

WHE LOT STAR THEO JAM EYEG GAY ROLE GEE MICHAEL BPIC
Introduced episo three, wealthy gay man Quent (Tom Hollanr) is at the Whe Lot hotel Sicily wh a group of gay iends. Though most of them are rich olr gays, there are a few younger men their pany, cludg Jack (Leo Woodall), a charmg and sexy guy om Essex who refers to Quent as his "uncle. Quent's personaly, accent, and tast f the archetypil "proper wealthy Brish gay man, " whereas Jack looks and sounds like a future st member of Love Island.
Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer. Adam DiMar is one star of season two who has gaed new fans followg his stt on the show and appears the gay muny has really taken a likg to him. The fact there is not enough nsistent Adam DiMar on gay Twter or my alt feed has shown the gay muny ntu to fail men — Topher (2023's Versn) (@simplyLark) January 23, 2023.
In said movie, DiMar plays a very mor role that volv him beg a very gay twk high on ecstasy a gay club.

For all tents, the role is a tad obv (albe not an entirely unfair pictn) and leans to gay stereotyp, but Adam DiMar’s gay followers seem to love seeg their new fave as a mon twk.
